Where's Johnny Jet? Greetings from South Florida! If you're following me on social, you know my dad, my wife and I had a great trip to Las Vegas. We flew back to LA for a few days and then Natalie and I flew to Miami so we could attend SeaTrade Cruise Global 2016.
The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach
Although the conference is in Fort Lauderdale, we opted to stay in Miami at the plush Ritz-Carlton, South Beach. It’s one of my favorite (if not my favorite) Miami hotels as it doesn’t have a nightclub and it’s right on the beach and Lincoln Road so there are plenty of restaurants, shops and opportunities for people-watching. Families love it, too, since it’s kid-friendly (have you ever seen a separate check-in for kids?). Oh, and if you can gain access to their club room, don’t miss out on their breakfasts, evening desserts and of course cookies. Yowza!

Natalie and I aren’t in Miami much longer as we’re about to jump on a flight to…well, you'll just have to wait until next week or follow us on social. Here are our handles: Me: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Natalie: Pinterest | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter 35,000 bonus points—available until March 30!
As I mentioned last week: If you don’t yet have the Starwood Preferred Guest Amex card, new Card Members are eligible to receive the highest bonus ever offered with this card: 35,000 Starpoints! This card (which I have and use all the time) is already pretty much every frequent traveler's and points junkie’s favorite rewards card.
